The equivalent conductance of $\frac{M}{32}$ solution of a weak monobasic acid is 8.0 mho $\mathrm{cm}^2$…

The equivalent conductance of $\frac{M}{32}$ solution of a weak monobasic acid is 8.0 mho $\mathrm{cm}^2$ and at infinite dilution is 400 mho $\mathrm{cm}^2$, The dissociation constant of this acid is -
  1. $1.25 \times 10^{-4}$
  2. $1.25 \times 10^{-5}$
  3. $1.25 \times 10^{-6}$
  4. $6.25 \times 10^{-4}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} \alpha= & \frac{\mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{C}}}{\mathrm{A}_{\infty}}=\frac{8}{400} \\ \mathrm{~K}_{\mathrm{a}} & =\mathrm{C}^2 \\ & =\frac{1}{32} \times \frac{8}{400} \times \frac{8}{400} \\ & =1.25 \times 10^{-5} \end{aligned}$
